Gogya Implementation

AMIT has identified nine areas of expertise critical to the implementation of Gogya. These areas are run by school-based leaders with the understanding that change happens in the schools and on both network and local levels. Teachers who have a passion for a specific area receive substantial training from network experts on a network-wide, regional, and school-based level. The nine areas are:

Pedagogical Development
Innovative educational methods for personalized, interdisciplinary, and relevant learning

Personal/Professional Academic Growth Plans
Personalized plans for principals, teachers and students, developed collaboratively, to ensure constant and focused growth

Entrepreneurship & Ecosystem
Real life experiences and exposure to help students break the glass ceiling

Torat Chaim
Identity and values-based education for religious and secular schools alike

Connections in Israeli Society
Building bridges in society through dialogue and meaningful interactions

Techno-Pedagogy
Technical platforms to facilitate personalized learning for an ever-changing technical world

Reshet/School Identity
Establishment of a strong network for students, teachers, parents and partners, while enabling a unique narrative for schools

Administration & Budgets

Pedagogical Systems Analysis
Climate of formative assessment for ongoing evaluation, goal-setting, and reaching benchmarks

Gogya Expands Through Hybrid Gogya

During 2021, AMIT established Hybrid Gogya, an online platform for joint learning. With four local branches in each of AMIT’s regional communities, Hybrid Gogya schools provide 4,400 students with more learning choices, enrichment classes, and majors — far beyond what any individual local school could previously offer.

Based on the Gogya principles of collaboration, teamwork, curiosity, independent learning, and agility, Hybrid Gogya enables students to learn from the best teachers across the network of schools. This brings greater opportunities to students especially in Israel’s geographic periphery where small school sizes and limited teacher pools often mean fewer opportunities.

Majors Offered in Hybrid Gogya: Physics, Computer Science, Arabic, and French

Courses Offered in Hybrid Gogya: Astrophysics, English Debate, Human Psychology, Jewish History, Art
